Is it possible to combine several externals into one directory?
e.g.:
$ svn propget svn:externals calc
third-party/sounds //svn.example.com/companyA/sounds
third-party/sounds //svn.example.com/companyB/sounds

A:
No youd need to do:
svn mkdir third-party third-party/sounds
svn propedit svn:externals third-party/sounds
-- propeditor --
companyA prot://url/to/companyA/sounds/
companyB prot://url/to/companyB/sounds/
-- write-close --
svn commit third-party -m "Yay Externals!"

this will give you two directories (companyA, companyB) not one combined dir.

Correct... i should have noted it as an alternative not necessarily a solution. Although im not sure why you would want to combine to seperate libraries into a single library with no direct scoping within the filesystem - IMO that smells bad. :-)

It was planned to build a pool of library files, so that every developer only needs one reference path to all 3rd party libs. Not too uncommon solution, at least using delphi.

A:
No; the second statement will take precedence over the first and you'll only get the files from companyB.
